Ontario Ain’t No Punk—Ford Ready to Cut America’s Lights Off
Ayy, Canada tired of playin’ nice, and Ontario’s top dog Doug Ford sayin’ bet. After Trump hit ‘em with them 25% tariffs, Ford said he gon’ make sure America feel it too—talkin’ ‘bout taxin’ U.S. energy imports or straight-up cuttin’ ‘em off.
The Smoke
• Trump threw Canada & Mexico back in the tariff blender, hittin’ ‘em with 25% taxes on most importsafter midnight.
• Ford came thru heated, sayin’ if America wanna tax Canada, then Ontario finna charge extra on the energy they send to New York, Michigan, & Minnesota—and might just cut the plug completely if Trump keep playin’.
• Bro said “A tariff on Canada is a tax on Americans” and encouraged other provinces to start pressin’ the U.S. the same way.
How Deep It Goes
• Ontario a big dog in Canada’s energy game, mainly runnin’ on uranium.
• They got connections with Manitoba, Quebec, and three U.S. states—New York, Michigan, & Minnesota—so if they turn off the switch, folks out there gon’ feel it real quick.
• For now, the energy tax ain’t startin’ immediately, but best believe Ford ain’t bluffin’.
Canada Ain’t Holdin’ Back
• Trudeau already clapped back with 25% tariffs on $20.7B worth of U.S. imports—and if Trump don’t back off in three weeks, he uppin’ it to $86.2B.
• Ford ridin’ with Trudeau on this, but he took it further—banning American liquor and cancelin’ Ontario’s contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink internet.
• He straight up told America y’all ‘bout to feel this recession hit different, and told Americans to start pressin’ Trump if they don’t wanna be stuck payin’ more for everything.
Bottom line? Ontario came for blood. Ford said America wanna tax Canada? Cool. Now y’all gon’ pay extra to keep the lights on—or worse, sit in the dark.
